Text 6. A parliamentary Monarchy

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a parliamentary monarchy. In law, the Queen of Great Britain is the head of the executive, the head of the judiciary and the commander-in-chief of all the armed forces of the Crown.

Nobody but the Queen can summon Parliament, or dissolve it. In practice, the Queen acts only on the advice of her Ministers She reigns but she does not rule.

The Prime Minister is usually the leader of the party that has a majority in the House of Commons. The party, which obtains the majority of seats in the House, is called the Government and the others the Opposition. The English Parliament consists of two chambers - the House of Lords and the House of Commons. People outside of Great Britain believe that if a man is elected to sit in Parliament, he ought to have a seat. But the House of Commons has seat for only about two-thirds of its 630 members. Thus of great occasions, when the House is full, members have to sit in the gangways or Chester round the Speakers Chair. Only four members of the House of Commons have reserved seats: the Speaker, the Prime Minister, and the Leader of the Opposition and the member who has sat in the longest unbroken period.

Parliamentary procedure is based on forms and rules, many of which date back to the beginning of the sixteenth century. Thus, before every sitting of the House begins, the Speaker walks in procession to the chamber from his residence within the Royal Palace. Wearing wig and gown, he is accompanied by his Chaplain, his Secretary and the Sergeant-at-Arms carrying the Mace. On arrival in the Chamber, the Mace is set on the Table, prayers are read and, provided a quorum of forty members is present, the Speaker takes the Chair.

Any M.P. may introduce a bill to the Parliament. Every bill have three reading the bill goes before the House of Lords. If the Lords agree to the bill, it will be placed before the Queen for signature.

The House of Lords has 850 members: peers, lords, bishops and archbishops. One third of the Lords today are company directors. They include bankers, steel magnets, newspaper proprietors and industrialists of all kinds. The Leader is the Lord Chancellor who sits upon the Woolsack, a large bag of wool covered with read-cloth. The Woolsack is a reminder of the times when England’s commercial prosperity was founded on her wool exports.
